We never find out why the world outside has ended, except that there has been some kind of war and we are watching the fate of the losers.

Levi Holloway and Michael Shannon, a killer combination if ever Chicago theater produced one, have been to the big time and come back, formidable of craft but ever in search of intimate substance. Shannon’s career has taken him from the back room of an Old Town bar to a major Hollywood career and two Academy Award nominations.

Simply put, “Turret” is a searing drama about a loving son and his alcoholic father hidden within a dystopian genre play about two men stuck in an underground bunker when the world above has ceased to exist. Look closely, though, and all of that falls away, as these two actors clearly understand. Love, after all, is the most tested in these kinds of circumstances.

There’s another rub, too. Someone arrives from outside. The less you know about Birdy, played by Lawrence Grimm, the better, except to know that Grimm, a stalwart of this theater, is doing the best work of his career.
